NGK Spark Plug Supplies sparking plugs, heaters and probes lambda to the new Fiat 500L Trekking
18 October 2013
For the reduced, engine turbo TwinAir of two cylinders (70 kW / 90 CV), NGK designed the sparking plug ILKR9G8 for saving of space. Has a thread of of M12 and 26,5 mm of long scope, like the compact engine offers a space limited. To measure that the engine uses the variable control of valves to adapt to the situation of driving, the sparking plug ILKR9G8adapts to the movement of high load and pressesure of cylinder. To fulfil these requirements, has a central electrode with tip of iridium soldered with laser. Because of his high melting-point (2466 ° C) and the hardness, this lovely metal is extremely resistant to the erosion by sparks, what allows a central electrode with a diameter of only 0,6 mm. Because of his thin design, mixes air-fuel more flammable improves the spark, what guarantees hygiene of lit and the efficiency of the engine.
On the other hand, NGK is the only provider of sensors lambda for the engine turbo TwinAir. Fiat Installs the broadband sensor UAA0001-FA001 of the mark NTK. This is able to detect the relation airecombustible in a wide interval of points of work - a vital capacity for the system TwinAir variable and his cambiantes relations of air-fuel. Like sensor of diagnostic to control the global performance of the sensors of regulation of the catalytic converter, Fiat chose the binary sensor of NTK of oxide of zirconium OZA629-To2.
For the engine MultiJet2 1.3 litres (62 kW / 85 CV), NGK is exclusive provider of the heaters and the controllers of warming. The engine diesel of four cylinders has the types And9001ACE sparking plug incandescente and the controller of warming R41GK. Thanks to the advanced system of fast warming of NGK (GCA), the And9001ACE has a diameter of tube incandescente of only 3,5 mm and is able to arrive to 1.000 ° C in only two seconds, providing lit reliable of the mix of diesel, even to temperatures acclimatise very low. Together with the controller of warming, that also supplies back warming during several minutes, in accordance with the requirement of warming of the manufacturer of trucks. The broadcasts during the period of warming of the engine reduce significantly.
For the regulation Lambda, the MultiJet2 1.3 litres uses the broadband type UAA0002-FA001. Finally, NGK also is present in the engine of 16V 1,4 litres (70 kW / 90 HP). The specialist of lit supplies Fiat the sparking plug reference DCPR7And-N-10 in alloy of nickel for this engine.
